First successful attempt at a plane. It's not much, but it gets off the ground and flies. Yaw is a little touchy. Any feedback is appreciated!

    also when i started I didn't know that you could change the wing type so all my planes had horrible stability and i also learned that you can make weels turn

    ok for a first try (better than mine) but could be better. 1. if an engines front fan is exposed you don't need an air intake for it 2. need to make pitch flaps smaller 3. v tails don't work well unless they have flaps on the wings that respond to yaw to counter the rolling motion

    @tominator I remember back when i made an account the game was new and you didn't need 25 points to rate panes and people would make whole accounts just to rate things

    Someone had it in them to give me enough point to rate and it made my day. Hopefully this makes yours.
